Prometrium natural progesterone
Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium natural progesterone
prometrium
Prometrium is the same progesterone as that which the ovary makes - so it is 'natural'. It is probably safe to take throughout the first trimester. There are some researchers who believe that there might be a very small increase in the risk of a birth defect in boy babies called hypospadias - with hypospadias the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip or end.
s right about the fluctuations during the day. I am taking a natural progesterone supplement. Its called Pro-gest by a company called Emerita. The natural form has no risk of side effects to the fetus and is absorbed very efficiently through the skin. Also you don't need a prescription for it. You can pick it up from most health food stores or buy it online. Good luck to you! It sounds like your levels are great!
I was on crinone (vaginal) and prometrium during my first pregnancy (IVF), and on prometrium only the second time around (natural pregnancy). Best wishes for the remainder of your pregnancy!
Also, I am going to try this month adding natural progesterone cream to the mix starting 2 days post ovulation. There is alot of information about that on the net. My RE also jump started follicle growthy for me (which for me didn't work, but might for you) with either menopur/clomid or menopur/femara, and I got as many as four follicles in a month.
You produce progesterone naturally and it increases to help maintain pregnancy. I have been on prometrium and vaginal suppository progesterone since 4 weeks.
Hi, i would like to ask you if somebody had low progesterone and estrogen dominance but get worse after progesterone intake? I am not in menopause yet but have hot flashes and severe acid reflux. I think one of the reason is hormonal imbalace. After saliva test i was told i have low adrelas and cortisol, DHNA and progesteron level in comparison to estrogen. I was taking natural progesteron for 1 month but only 50 mg bc i was too drowsy with full pull.
I've been taking 200mg of prometrium everynight since I found out at 4 weeks I'm currently 9 weeks my dr wants me to take them until 16 weeks. I was prescribed them because I had two miscarraiges in a row both at 5-5 1/2 weeks and they think it may have been due to low progesterone.
Prometrium is progesterone, and therefore if you are taking prometrium, a progesterone test will read positive. Were you taking the prometrium in your vagina or by mouth? Progesterone levels of 34 (if you are in the US) are a little high to come just from prometrium alone so I would have thought you had ovulated also. In Canada and Europle, the units used are different and a progesterone of 34 could be due entirely to the prometrium if you are writing from those countries.
I get a progesterone shot once a week and take prometrium every day twice a day. It's so worth it! Hang in there.
Prometrium is to help raise the progesterone to aid in implantation of the baby. It is taken the day after Ovulation and till the period occurs. Now as it raises the progesterone it can delay your period if you are not pregnant as during the luteal phase (after ovulation) your progesterone will decrease and estrogen levels will rise talling your body to shed the uterine lining causeing yoru period to occur. When you take suppliments the progesterone stays up and may not fall till stopped.
I believe in it.
I also took 200mg prometrium and probably 3g of folic acid. What I read was that synthetic progesterone is what is not safe during pregnancy but prometrium is the natural form and it is safe for pregnant women. (My dh is a pharmacist and thinks they just put those stickers on the bottle to cover themselves) My RE said I could quit the prometrium at 8 weeks but I was paranoid and kept taking it until 10 weeks with no problems whatsoever. Good luck - I hope it works for you!
Crinone vaginal gel, intramuscular progesterone, and Prometrium capsules are natural progesterone preparations which are safe to use during pregnancy. In woman with recurrent pregnancy loss heparin and baby aspirin are helpful to keep open the blood vessels in the placenta. Steroids may also be helpful since they act by inhibiting the cellular immune response. The duration of treatment depends on your particular situation.
Has anyone's doctor said they're progesterone level was low & was put on Prometrium????
